HOW I TRANSFORMED MY BODY IN 35 DAYS (part 1)

Hey everyone! I'm so excited to share more about how I tackled my body transformation in just 35 days. It wasn't just about hitting the gym; it was a holistic approach that helped me bounce back after an injury and achieve some incredible 35-day weight loss challenge results. First, let's talk about the calorie deficit. Many people think it means deprivation, but for me, it was about smart choices. Maintaining a 300-400 calorie deficit from my maintenance level was crucial. This meant being mindful of what I ate, focusing on nutrient-dense foods. For example, starting my day with a bowl of yogurt, berries, and granola, or a balanced breakfast sandwich, kept me feeling full and energized without overdoing it. Tracking my intake helped me stay accountable without feeling overwhelmed. It's amazing how consistent, small adjustments to your diet can lead to significant changes over 35 days. Next up, strength training. Coming back from an injury, this was non-negotiable for me. I made sure to hit the weights 3-4 times a week. For women especially, strength training is vital for body recomposition and can help prevent muscle loss after 35. Don't be afraid to lift heavy! I focused on compound movements like squats (just like the one in my picture!), deadlifts, and lunges. This not only built muscle and reshaped my body but also significantly improved my confidence in the gym, leading to a true woman gym transformation. Cardio was also a huge part of my routine, incorporated 3-4 times a week. While the stairmaster before and after results are undeniable for toning and calorie burn, I also loved mixing it up with incline walking, short runs, and even playing soccer. This variety kept my workouts exciting and contributed to my running body transformation. Finding cardio you enjoy is key to consistency, whether you're targeting a 35-day challenge or a longer fitness transformation. Finally, I want to briefly touch on effective supplements. For me, these were about maximizing my energy for high-intensity workouts and aiding recovery, helping me push harder and get enhanced results. It's always best to do your research and find what supports your individual needs and goals, but focusing on overall well-being and fuel for those intense sessions is important for any body transformation journey. Remember, consistency and dedication are your best supplements! This journey really showed me what my body is capable of in just over a month.
